A man’s suit coat has often been likened to a woman’s purse: many items find their way to its pockets. When being measured for your next suit, be sure to bring everything that normally accompanies you in your business-wear, including your dress shoes. If you tend to keep items in a certain pocket, they ought to be part of creating the entire look. Cell phone, keys, wallet or money clip, handkerchief or pocket square, and glasses can be integrated into your bespoke suit just as well as your posture and height.
Being fitted with all your accessories can eliminate unpleasant surprises down the road, such as discovering that your wallet creates an unsightly bulge in your coat, or that the sleeve of your dress shirt does not accommodate your watch. Customized clothing fits not only your form, but your lifestyle and habits.
Powerful Blue Jackets Command Wardrobe Attention

Alongside the rich earth-tone colors of browns and olives in sport jackets, the blue jacket remains a perennial favorite. There is a measurable comfort, perhaps even a sense of security in the selection of a rich blue jacket. We’ve heard it said that in our heart of hearts, it’s the navy jacket that we turn to first.
From the Navy blazer we get an authoritative, powerful feeling. It reminds us of the commander at sea or the policeman’s uniform. The classic blazer, in single or double-breasted styling, has never waned in popularity. It is often a first choice for travelers as it easily coordinates with nearly any trouser color from the darkest grays to the lightest of tans.
Beyond the navy blazer awaits another blue jacket destined to be a wardrobe favorite. Consider the selection of a rich, elegant blue jacket in a subtle Glenn plaid, a delicate decoration of soft windowpane plaid, or a classic check pattern in a range of visible texture from traditional hound’s-tooth to tiny tick-weave.
These blue jackets are made in the finest wools, often woven with silk for a luxurious hand and tone. While easily paired with navy or medium blue trousers, these primary blue jackets are perfect with a range of gray trousers from deep, dark charcoal to silver gray.
